Born into the reclusive Night Elf order known as the Wardens and shunned by mainstream Night Elf society, Mortred pledged allegiance to the Scourge to take revenge. A perfect blend of strength and speed, the years spent alone in the forests of Ashenvale allowed her to blend into the terrain, appearing phantomlike at times and striking when you least expect it. The deadly precision with which she carries out her attacks have made her a valuable member of the Scourge, and it is clear why she is known as the Phantom Assassin.

PositivesStrongest Critical in the game (4x!)Has one of the greatest passive skill named Blur (28% evasion)Most frightening hero if she got the right itemHas a skill to help farm early game

Negatives Low starting HP and melee rangeFragile early game As with all melee heroes, prone to disable-lock Very low intelligence gain

Your most noticable weakness is your early game fragility. This guide's build will focus on items that will attempt to make the early game easier at an acceptable price, as well as being a worthwhile investment even in the later stages of the game.
Later in the game your power increases drastically through your critical, high Agility gain and chasing ability. If you survive early you will annihilate your foes later on.

Skill Descriptions

Stiffling Dagger

Hurls a dagger which deals minor pure damage and slow the unit's movement speed for a short duration. Deals half damage to heroes.

On the early games, use this skill to farm, farm and farm. IceFrog give this skill to Mortred at 6.51 only to help her farm. On the late game, this skill is still usefull to slow down the enemy while you chase it. This will be the skill that we will be maxing first.

Phantom Strike

Teleports to a unit and attacks it. Gains 100% attack speed for 3 seconds while attacking that same target. Maximum of 4 attacks.

This is the skill you're going to be using just about all the time. It can be used for last hits, harassing, chasing, and even fleeing.

Blur

The Phantom Assassin becomes hard to see by blurring her body and disappearing from the minimap when near enemy heroes. Some enemy attacks miss..

Mortred unique skill. This skill somehow one of the best passive in the game. With 28% evasion, you will be hard to kill and since you became a giant dot, some noob won’t notify that you already attacked him. Unfortunately, this skill won’t help you against nuker on early game. The disappearance from the minimap will also help you score a kill on a careless hero.

Your first skill is Phantom Strike, it will help you escape from level 1 ganking. We maxing Stiffling Dagger as fast as possible. This skill will be very usefull during early games. Like the other low HP agility hero, you’re gonna have a hard period of farming in early game. Especially when you’re facing nuker. When you do, use Stiffling Dagger to help you last hitting. Your main focus on early game is farming as much as you can (and don’t die!). Stiffling Dagger also a great skill for harassing. Even though the damage is poor, if you use it when the creeps chase the enemies heroes, the slow will give great damage.

After we max Stifling Dagger, Phantom Strike is next. Those two is give pretty much damage with low mana cost. Since we skip stats, your hp will be low. But Bracers will fill this gap. Coup De Grace is taken early, because this is the one who make everybody feared her.

Basically, your core items will be enough to make your enemy fear you. Your damage output is already high enough. But when the games prolonged, then you will need to grab more items for your survivability, since the enemy is most likely focusing on you. Go for BKB, if your enemy have so many disabler (Rhasta is sucks indeed!). Your evasion won't save you from spells and nukers. Satanic will give you bigger lifesteal and HP, will help you against another DPS hero. Assault Cuirass will greatly increase you IAS and reduction to your enemy armor. Monkey King Bar will also add more damage output from you. Finally, HoT will make you even Godly. When you get all of this items, probably no one will beat you..Strategy

Using Mortred means you will have to be very carefull to not let her die. Your primary mission is only to farm and survive. Don’t waste your time by looking early frag, you will get it in the late game. Now then, the first two build items are pretty self-explanatory. Alternatively you could buy a Chicken and Bracer parts/Flask, whatever suits you. Once you do reach your lane quickly take note of your enemy heroes. If you're against two heroes and one of them is a nuker then stay as far back as you can without losing experience.

If you're against just one hero or two weak early gamers then begin farming immediately. If you're against two heroes and at least one of them is a nuker then you will begin farming at level 3 with Stiffling Dagger (or level 1 if you have a great timing with the Stiffling Dagger). The idea behind this is simple- when an enemy creep hits the low red hit it with your Dagger. This will help you farm while stay away from their nuke. Maybe for the first time using this Dagger, you will miss the hit or didn't get the last hit. Stiffling Dagger need some timing to use it properly. After several shot, i'm surely sure you will get the timing.

The damage to the creep is not instant. It's like a range heroes attack, so you must use it with proper timing

The first major part of my build is the choice of Bracers. Put simply, Bracers are the best value item that Mortred could ever buy. The HP boost they give is invaluable and they're really, really easy to make. Bracers are for early game survival, and they fit the bill very nicely. Especially in Mortred's case they completely outdo Nulls and Wraiths, since you don't need much mana for Stiffling Dagger and +3 to Agility is pretty negligible. Bracers beat out items like Vanguard and the Point Booster as well, being composed of smaller, cheaper items giving you more control over when and how you purchase them.

Next comes the Ring of Health, which is used for your later Perseverance with Void Stone and give you HP & mana regen, which will now allow you to harass with Blink Strike and Stiffling Dagger. The best possible time to do this is at your tower when the enemy hero is starting to move back until the creeps push toward him again. When he moves away quickly cast Blink Strike on him followed by Stiffling Dagger and hit him in the back several times, then quickly run back to the safety of your tower. If you do it right then you'll take a good 200+ HP from your opponent at the cost of a small amount of mana. However, this takes practice to know when exactly you want to Blink Strike in. If you do it at the wrong moment your enemy will be prepared and will retaliate, which is bad. Practice will assist you greatly in learning this skill.

Your Perseverance shouldn't take very long to complete and with these items you are much easier to use your skill often. After getting Boots and Belt of Giant Strength, you'll have a lot of HP compared to a good many heroes and your HP regen probably outdoes anyone else on the map. It's possible to get kills at this point with nothing but Stiffling Dagger, Shadow Strike and a weak critical if you choose your target right. Look for weakened heroes and soft targets such as the Sniper. Try to get a kill or two here if you can, and if not then just go back and farm up to your Battlefury and Treads. It's very likely that you won't be able to kill anyone here. Don't think you've been doing something wrong because you can't. Stiffling Dagger is always available to you for assisting in ganking, remember.

With Perseverance, a level 2 Coup De Grace and maxed Stiffling Dagger & Phantom Strikeit becomes even more possible to kill heroes. If you face weak hero, just jump with Phantom Strike, Stiffling Dagger, hit, another Phantom Strikeand Stiffling Dagger will make the enemies hardly escape from you. The low cooldown of both skills is the key for this scenario. If you're not sure about your target, don't hesitate. Don't risk you life. If you die too much, your late game will be ruined. Just go to forest and farms some creeps.

I should note now that I'm not going to go into specific ways of using Blink Strike to escape enemies. With Mortred (unless they changed it again) it's possible to Blink Strike your allies, allowing you to possibly escape what could be a fatal situation. This doesn't happen all that often- there will actually be instances where Blink Striking to a creep will slow you down rather than help you get away. Usually the only time Blink Striking to an ally will help you is if the unit is moving in the direction that you want to go or is not moving at all, otherwise it'll probably just slow you down. Just keep it in mind and if you see an opportunity to do it, then do it.

At this point in the game it's likely that some pushes will be happening as well. When the enemy team pushes you want to stick yourself onto the most fragile hero you can find and just whack at them. If an enemy attempts to flee then Stiffling Dagger him and chase him down, as that's what you're best at. You really aren't that strong when it comes to team fights but your slow will be a big help in these situations.

By the time you're level 16 with your Coup De Grace at level 3 you should have your Treads, Bracers and Battlefury. If you haven't been able to farm that much you're probably going to lose. With Battlefury, your criticals are going to be a major force to be reckoned with, and heroes are going to really start fearing your high damage. Battlefury will also help you fast farming and make great amount money for your luxury. Your next item is Helm of Dominator and life leech the enemies. The leech will help you survive on battle since the HP regeneration is minor right now. After get your Helm of Dominator search for some Stomper and remember to have your Stomper with you. You'll want him around at all times because he may save your life or net you a kill. If a hero is foolish enough to be running around alone then show him no mercy- there isn't much that can handle you 1v1 at this point except for heroes with high DPS AND disables. As long as you can stick to the hero and keep leeching him he probably won't be able to kill you.

Your Battlefury will send your criticals to 450+ and you'll be getting them quite a lot because of your high Agility and decent IAS. Combine this with the life leech virtually no hero can handle you alone and few heroes can escape thanks to your slow and your Blink Strike. Your biggest fear here is ganks, and because Mortred has no reliable escape mechanism you're going to have to rely on intelligence to stay alive. Stick with your allies and watch your mini-map so that your foes can't stop your slaughterfest with a few ganks too many.

Your Battlefury will make you farm like hell and there are a couple of items you can consider. The first is to grab another strong item like Monkey King Bar, Assault Cuirass and the second is to get a survival item like Satanic or Black King Bar, depending on your enemies. Black King Bar helps against (you guessed it) disablerand further damage is generally purchased when you want some extra oomph on your criticals or need to defend against large creep pushes. When it comes to team battle, hid yourself. Wait until the battle initiate and quickly jump to the weakest enemy heroes, like Snipers. In the middle of chaos, the enemy will hardly get a quick response to your attack. After get your target, quickly jump into the another enemies with lowest HP. Even if they are fleeing, with Stiffling Dagger and Phantom Strike, you will get them in no time.

but I buy boots straight away, usually PA would be soloing. Or if solo isn't a choice, then lane with a nuker for early kill. Boots will ensure PA to be more 'escap-able', boot equip with lvl3 blink can ensure PA escape with minimal hp.

I agree with the farming methods as well as the harrasing, but if lane with a nuker, PA should able to kill an hero early. Shadow strike early, both hero gank then nuke, blink strike, even if PA does not make the first blood, the experience is valuable for not being solo.

By the end of the 1st night, PA should have enough money to buy a Claymore and a Hammer + a bracer / ring. A lot of people will start with Preservence, but by that rate, PA should be lvl 9 to 10, the ulti needs to shine in creeping as well as group gank. with Blink Strik, PA can kill a hero running with 1/4 HP.

After PA has the Battle Fury, start farming, depending on the enermy go either MOM or Helm, then MKB, by lvl 16, PA should have a critial of 1k.

Once again, depending on your allie and their build up, the choices are endless. But the basic item PA should have is Treads (strength as main), BattleFury, MKB, MOM/Helm

I usually don't buy boots, because mortred is very fragile in the early games. If you buy boots, you will be getting harassed and push you back to fountain because of lack regeneration. Survive and farming is more important than early frag in the early games.

Solo with PA? Hmmm.. I don't agree with you.. In high level games, nobody will let mortred farm. Instead of solo, I really recommend you to grab a lane mate with you. Mortred is really weak. If you are solo against strong opponent (ex:Lina & Sven), a combo from both hero will kill you in an instant.

Yes, if Mortred laning with a nuker, an early frag is possible. Battle Fury is not a bad item for Motred. But I think you'd better pass it. The regeneration from Battle Fury is negletible, since you will get it at lvl 11 above. Lifesteal is already enough for your HP regen. And Mortred is not mana dependant, so you don't need the mana regen either. A clarity is more than enough to cover it. You will slower your build toward MKB if you force to get BF first.

I agree with not using boots first on mortred. And having mortred going solo on the lane is not good. She should have a hero with her on the early part then she can be left later on for farming. I like battle fury for mortred. I even tried 2 battle furies and it worked very well. The stacking is just so good. Then go for satanic. When you have power threads, 2 battle furies and satanic mortred is very strong and very hard to kill specially if she goes critical and you have satanic activated. It gives you a lot of hp back, try it out. :)

By the way, I like your blog. I have my own too but it is mainly focused on team play. Please check it out when you have time. If you like it maybe we can add each other as friends. Please let me know. You can see my blog at mydotaguide.blogspot.com. Thank you.

Not one of my favorite heroes, but thats my skill build too, consider butterfly as an item, much more usefull than cuirass, shes not the hero to solo, shes weak with any str melee and any ranged heroes , specially nukers, food without someone to take care of care...

Fair points well made. I agree that late game everyone will gank on PA first as in a 5 vs 5 situation, if PA's team has one or two stuners/nukers, PA's blink (with Cleving attack) is deadly. which is another reason why I usually have the Battle Fury Build. high damage, cleaving damage will allow PA to clear the field very quickly as well as farm quickly. once BattleFury is acheived, it does not take long to get one or even two MKB.

@DimI wouldn't really spend the money on Butterfly as evasion don't stack, for 3300 gold for a +25 agi, it is quicker and better off to get a few sange as they stack Yosha don't. And I completely agree with you that PA needs Satanic, not only increase the HP as well as keep PA alive while hitting, but having said that PA will need the high damage and attack speed to benefit from the life steal.

Because if you take S+Y you are losing out on all that beautiful life leach on those 1k dmg crits, And PA has no need for another chase mechanism, she already has slow dagger, and blink strike... This would be over kill and while she can use the +15 Str you don't need the 15 agil, and there are better items than S+Y for +15 str (satanic)

@above - hmmm, maybe you should read the mechanics forum on Dota-Allstars.com. Evasion do not stack with blur because they are both the same type. If you buy butterfly, then you will use the biggest evasion, and that's butterfly. Butterfly only stack with faceless void backtrack and old dispersion of mercurial because both of their passive is not evasion type, you can check this on Mechanics forum.

On the other hand, about Sange Yasha, despite the orb stack, I think there is a lot items suit better with mortred. S&Y with the recent buff is indeed interesting to use, but she already has blink strike and slow dagger which is enough to chase heroes. The only thing she really need is health and damage. And because you are aimed her to become damage dealer, life leech is give you a lot of survivability and keep you alive while fighting. If there are a lot of nuke caster on your enemy, BKB is also a good choice :)

THE DANGER WITH BATTLE FURY IS WITH THE 35% CLEAVE ANY CRITICAL HIT WILL DO 100% CHAOS DAMAGE TO ANYTHING AROUND THE UNIT THATS BEEN HIT BY THE CRIT SO TWO BATTLE FURYS = 70% CLEAVE, YOU DO A CRIT OF 1000 ANYONE AROUND THE CRIT IS GOING TO TAKE 700 CHAOS DMG :) SORRY THIS IS IN CAPS FORGOT TO TAKE CAPS OFF AND COULDBT BE ARSED TO WRITE IT AGAIN

@above - auch, it's hurt my eyes @_@ Battlefury on mortred is great, but still, to take 2 of them is kinda overkill since she is fragile. But i think in some pubs it's ok for experimenting. And yeah, Battlefury does pure cleave damage :D

the build skill differ from mine,but I'll try it. ^_^cos I usually upgrade the blur 1st, so I can last hit with blink strike with minimum hit by enemy.I usually only take 1 level for dagger until the end, just to slow the enemy.I prefer stats.its just my opinion, and effective 4 me. :)

my build:-tango, gauntlet of ogre str, clarities.-get RoH as fast as U can, get Boots and finish bracer.- finish battlefury- I prefer MoM, to get critical as much as I can.- MKB and BKB, depends on priority of the enemy. many disabler or not.

usually by this item,the game will end up in our favor.if not, I buy between cuirass or another MKB.

BTW, Ur name is Alief,R U Indonesian?If U ask me, yes I am.find me in Indogamers Public BattleNet with same nick, "Lightnerdouble"

I also moderator in Seal Online Indonesia official fansite, with same nick.U can check seald.gate00.net to find me as Warrior Moderator.

HEY HMMM.. AT MY FIRST EARLY GAME I BUILD 3 BRACERS AND CLARITY AND 4 TANGOES AFTER THAT I FARM FOR MY HELMS OF IRON WILL FOLLOWED BY RING OF HEALTH BOOTS OF SPEED AND THEN VOID STONE TO COMPLETE MY PERSEVERANCE... IN THE MID GAME I FARM FOR MY CLAYMORE AND BROADSWORD.. FOR MY BATTLEFURY.. ALSO I COMPLETE MY POWER TREADS AGILITY...AND HELM OF DOMINATOR...IN THE LATE GAME I BUILD CRIRAS ARMOR AND BKB AND DR. THATS ALL FOLKS

HMMM... HEY IT'S ME AGAIN THIS COMMENT IS FOR THE ONE HOW QROTE THE SKILL BUILD I REALIZED THAT MORTRED IS A WEAK HERO AT THE EARLY GAME SO YOU NEED TO BUID A SKILL SHOULD BE LIKE THIS (THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION!!!)

you are all noobs !!! buy 2 buriza because the critical stacks, then buy vladimirs + satanic, one critical full hp, desolator for 2 hit kill, boots of travel for haunting and ms eheh!!! beyond godlike!!

Okay lets resume some things:Evasion: Evasion doesn't stack (its the same skill, not like void's backtrack= pseudo-evasion)Critical: Dont buy buri, its a waste of money, coz the crits behave oddly togetherCleave: Yes cleavinf damage stacks (2 battlefury= 70% of PURE damage to those around the main target; imagine this effect on guys ike sven or dragon knight)sny+ any lifesteal: Lifesteal overrides Maim; Vladimir is an aura, not an orb (stil lthink that sny is wasted coz you have a slow, and damage and especially A TEAM!!!)So my recommended build is like one above:-Satanic (most of the times wnough hp and lifestal, depending on damage)-Battlefury, for this mass AOE damage (remember, you are damagedealer)Cuirass (butte is wasted, evasion doesnt stack. but armor helps YOU and -armor YOU and YOUR TEAM)-treads or BOT (depends on game, YES sometimes you have to push with Bots)+ special items: (bkb on disabler, heart for more hp. SECOND BATTLEFURY)second fury... REMEMBER: MORE CLEAVE PURE!!! DAMAGE. YOu are fucking damagedealer. Someone else has to tank and disable. YOU are the KILLER, so WTFPWN and survive a bit. And dont be greedy early...Every tip and mechanic taken from Dota mechanics forum and Dotawiki! Read it AND LEARN!

Evasion from Butterfly surely stacks but not like a + b. With Butter Mortred will have about 48%. Next, such an early Batlefury?? Guys, what a lame. Batlefury makes no sence without BKB. Practice with Armlet, Dominate creeps, make BKB earlier! Batlfury or two make sence only for big creep waves (after 40 mins) and in teamfights where you still must have BKB.

Nope, sorry alsa. Whoether told you evasion stacks is wrong. Look @ the mechanics part in the Dota-allstars forum. The higher evasion is what you get. Well HERE the natural skill and bf-evasion is the same, so sorry: no more evasion than that. Its not a pseudoevasion like bb,void or any other hero with a healing-after-damage-skill.Hmm you are sure ou got the real post here? Did you mix MKM with BKB? Im pretty sure, i would lmao if some Mortred yppeared with armlet of mordiggian...Only useful on STRheroes, i think. in a teamfight you my need BKB but i prefer the tank taking the disables and then kill the other heroes fast, so you need a damageitem, and cleaving is hawt coz it ignores enemy's armor. Sorry, I cant agree with you in general

getting armlet of mordigian on mort is like kamikaze attack..u see mort is still fragile entire game considering her HP growth, and dont get butterfly anymore, instead mkb or hypher(finished it with AC) for higher attack speed..getting butterfly means u negate mort's blurr skill...

Nobody has mentioned lothars, i think its pretty useful, especially the windwalk, gives you a really effective way of getting out of shit not to mention itll let you move around the map much quicker. Which can be very useful late game when you have BF or two, and can take on enourmous groups of creeps.

Hmm lothars might be considerable on pubbies, in a leaguegame you'll be encounteres by wards. Radiance... hmmm prob is, youll do Dagae over time with the aura (okay +60dmd is not bad) but i think a bkb or something might be better´.

waaaaah!! i dont think u go 1v1 w/ axe early w/ blur as ur first skill to get..even a noob playing axe will kill mort, the blur skill is useless while axe spins, considering also mort is very fragile early on..maybe the axe is super noob, maybe he didn't get the helix first..xD

I have been using another build, but i see now that i leak the hp. i have used to go:Power treadsCrystalisHelm of the DominatorBuriza-do-KayaonButterflySatanic

But my problem has allways been that if i dies a few times at start i will be hanging behind. But, if i can get down to Buriza i will have and insane 10% for 1,75x, 20% for 2,75x and 15% for 4x.Only probelm with 1000dmg crits is that im nuking myself against Nerubian ^^ (just happen once before i knew it was fucking 40% damage return!!!)

SnY,Mask of Madness, but will not activate. SnY useful for movement speed and attack speed only Maim does not work. Mask of Madness Lifesteal does not work but you can use the Berserk Skill of Mask of Madness.

THIS INFO IS BASE FROM EXPERIENCE!!! I have tested this and it works.

added: Maelstrom and diffusal works with range heroes.

Diffusal activates by default when maelstrom chance activates it still cast lightning then returns to mana burn.

i go:two wraithspower treads (strength)preservancemask of deathhelm of iron will, forms helm of the dominator.claymorebroadsword, forms battlefury.assault currias if no one has it orradiance.sell the wraiths to make a reiper if your team can slay roshan otherwise stay with wraiths.

BEYOND GODLIKE.

Hey. Im just a beginner and i really like mortred a lot. can you guys help me with the items? and what version of DOTa is this? my mortred in my dota has shadow strike, blink strike, blur and coupe de grace. help please!

BKB only gives you +10 str that means 190 hp... Not a big deal. And late game hp is not a matter for motred! Her damage is the most important fact of all! Her criti can kill heroes in 1-2 shots! BKB is good, but I still go for damage! And MKB, Divine and other stuff can be easily build thanks to the battle fury! She can easily farm late game! And if you want to tank then go for heart! Thats more than enough! These are just my opinions! Guys just follow your heart's wish! Build which you feel is right for this heroe! But it mainly depends on how you play with her!

BKB gives her hp boost n avatar ability against a team gank to escape w ease!! in pubs maybe mort own a lot but in competitive games, mort will always the center of ganks, n w/o items, mort is useless..1 thing more, a FARMED mort dont need HoT, a HoD is enough for her to TANK!! im telling u, u cant farm a divine in jaz 30-40 mins o play in 5v5 competitve games...unless u play in pubs, maybe..^^

I'm still interesting what about vanguard on late game. I know butterfly doesn't stack but PA's 28% evasion and 60% chance to block from vanguard give PA almost immortal? Yes? what do you think about it?

Look people idk what u think but evasion doesnt stack.... butterfly is possible for mortred couse it gives good stats ;].My build on this char ispower treadssatanicbfmkbtarasquedevine rapierI play on risks that's why i make a Divine ;)

Whats with u ppl!!! 1st, butterfly DOES NOT STACK!!!! Any other Critcs DO NOT STACK EITHER!!! So stop buying butterfly just for the agi stats!! 2nd, WTH is blur for??!! What happened to the 100% transparency??!! Dun buy aura items!! U can hide in the fog of war n start wacking someone n can gt 3-4 hits b4 they notice u. Do tht a few times n they will be cautious. Then u buy aura items, prefably Assault. All u need to pwning ppl wif PA is good dps, moderate atk speed and a little practice.

My item build would be:( finalized)

1. Battlefury for the regen + dps2. MKB or BKB if against nukers or disablers3. BoT or power threads for surviability4. Satanic (huge crtic + lifesteal= total ownage5. either heart or vanguard6. either assault or radience if u dun care bout transparency or divine then its GG

Hi guys,What do you think about Mjollnir? Most end game items lack agi, which gives you armor dodge dmg etc. 35agi + 35dmg from Mjollnir is close to other high end weapons (cept DR) But what does the orb effect used together with satanic? Does it overrule lifesteal or vice versa? With fast attacking PA this is almost 200dmg extra after blink...what you think?

it should be Power Treads (PT in Indonesia)Buriza do Kyanon (so it does doeble critical)Helm of Dominator (your attack hurt , your HP will never end)Heart of Tarrasque (you start to be unbeatable)2 rapier will finish game I always win if i used Mortred , thats my item for Mortred amyway .... if your interested to fight my mortred ... i await you

As for me, I'd rush 2-3 bracers depending on my farming. Then I'd complete power threads and rush battlefury (immense increase in farming rate and a decent dps boost). And similar to you, I'd stay off enemy heroes unless its a team gank which pretty much assures your team a kill. I'd repeat this until I get to about level ~16 with at least battlefury. My next item would be satanic or bkb depending on situation. My late game luxurious item would be MKB, HoT, and Manta Style ( yes yes fake crits I know, but is an item I get when victory is assured).

Burizza is not good for Mortred... Burizza will just make mortred's crits smaller... though it gives a higher chance... it still makes her damage small... please try it... cause I already had... and I had been laughed due to my small crits... :(... not a good item for late games

Heart of Tarrasque is not good as well to Mortred... I prefer Satanic... Heart of Tarrasque only increases HP regeneration by 2% unlike Satanic... it gives back a certain amount of health depending on your damage... :)... other than that... I think Satanic has a lot of attributes that go well with Mortred... :)

Mjolnir ang Butterfly are good for Mortred's blink attack... with those items and with the benefit of the blink attack... she could slice her opponents in just a second... after 4 attacks... it's useless... so... it's good if she can kill her opponent in 4 whacks... :)

Yes Mortred could do rampage... actually Mortred is a late game character... She's the queen of the late game... with proper build of items (as well as usage of those items) and good usage of her skills she could kill 4 opponents standing next to each other... :)

Btw... in the game my first item would be... "ring of regeneration"... after that I'd earn for "Threads"... next would be "mask of death"... then... 2 "Battle Fury"... then... turn the mask of death to "Helm of Dominator"... then... "Hyperstone"... after that... I'll choose whether to build "Satanic" first or "BKB"... after completing those 2 I'll aim to have a cuirass... :)

... well I'd like to share my strategy to her... oh... btw... my name is "Shukaku1" in Philippine Garena... I usually pilot Mortred... so... my tactic to her... is that I'd always try to make my opponent think that I'm a weak player... just by standing a little far behind my creeps and trying to make her jog behind her creeps... I usually wait for her to be on level 4 before I use my dagger skill on sniping creeps... since it's really (for me) hard to snipe a creep on a level 1 dagger... (Btw... post her behind the creeps wherein she could still gain some experience) ... :)

LoL...gee... my mistake... Hehehe... I always tend to put a blink strike first as my skill... that's why I snipe farm only when I reach level 4... :)... (I love using that skill when my opponent is running away from me)... X3

my strategy in building a good and godlike mortred is first saving the gold and aim for RH,after and 1st skill is dagger, then after that aiming for BS and form a PT, and when you are in the lane stay back but not away for experience purposes only and use your dager skill sniping low HP creeps. dont be so agreesic\ve or greedy this hero is a late gamer, and if so you can form a treads start to farm and aim for fury. after ward mask of deat to form dominator. with that item mortred is starting to be vulnerable. with this items can kill heroes of 3 in a row..... then aim for BKB so that the enimy cant cast a skill on you and you............... then form your dominator to satanic lastly Cuiras for negative armor on opponents and armor for you surely you would be GOdlike and its really works..... My email is torts_90@yahoo.com can send me an e-mail if you want togood luck guys

my build is almost same lik ne11.powertreads2.helm3.bf4.mkb5.satanic\bkbonly my last item i prefer buying buriza bcoz i know it does nt stack but wen i buy it my chances of landing crits shoot up i land 2 different crits almost every second

idiot....buriza???...why in the world would you use buriza when mortred has already Coup De Grâce????

chances are when the buriza does crit...you dont know that the coup de grace was activated too.because the buriza has a higher chance it will do its critical instead of coup de grace that has lower crit...so why buriza nubz?????want 1on1 with me???just be sure to have your buriza....

my best item builds.

1.POWER TREADS (for attack speed and armor and damage)2.SATANIC (for lifestealing and hp)3.BASHER (for bashing enemies effective against nukers and best with dagger)4.MKB "Monkey King Bar" (for your attacks to never miss and for damage too)5.BATTLEFURY (good with blink strike and coup de grace for cleaving could kill 4 players in 1 crit if u have the 6th item which is:)6.DIVINE RAPIER(for 250 damage)

the only hiccup with divine is...drops when any hero dies,and does not stack with double damage rune so if you die at you cant afford it again just buy another BATTLEFURY

and 1 more thing for the BURIZA....fcking idiot it has only 5% more chance of its crit with coup de grace...do not also buy BUTTERFLY its useless

see me in garena PH always bayantel

my codename is :(.|c000000ffmW) or could seen as .mW colored blue see me there

Why buriza noobs?? just try THIS1a. Phase boots1b. Power treads (both are good) 2. Satanic3. Butterfly (you dont have evasion BUT YOU HAVE DAMAGE AND ATCK SPEED YOU FUCKN NOOBS!! that is important! ) 4. Battlefury5. Monkey king bar(better than buriza)6a. Sange and Yasha(because it isnt orb efect and you will have good HP)6b. Vanguard6c. Divine Rapier6d. Basher6e. Your choice6f. DONT GET BKB ITS BORING AND IT IS FOR EVERY HERO AND YOU HAVE JUST 10!! If this is bad english sorry. Sorry for saying noobs to you but i need to.Enjoy guys, play DotA and dont play HoN and LoL they are stupid... GG

1.Treads(agility)2.Helm of Dominator=(7.Satanic really use activated 175% life steal for 3 sec helps you survive in late game)3. Battle fury4.Black King Bar(very important when you have enemies that has disables like stuns,hex,net or shackles mortred is useless when she cannot attack so you need this to survive until late game)5.Monkey king bar (better than buriza,mini stuns stops enemies form telepoting true strike never miss and stops channeling spells and you dont need buriza its like 2x crit than Coup De Grace 4x)6.Assault cuirras (you dont need butterfly mortred already has evasion what you need is attack speed and an item that makes your attacks stronger like this for minus armor)

My item build:1.Phase boots2.HoT (before that its good to have vanguard)3.Butterfly4.Sange and yasha5.Stygian6.vladimir (its good to have it on beggining, later you can replace it with for example mkb)

in most cases you wont finish your HoT or other late game items, the trick is avoid dying and farm. i dont always rely on mortred's coupdegrace so i often buy a buriza that in most of the time will give you another 1000 critical strike and your own crit will deal 1650+ crit having only the item powerthreads, buttelfury, buriza, and mkd your already unstoppable with that items. and i dont buy braces or wraith bands cuz i find it a waste of farm it will just delay your items; ya it will give you survivability but i can survive without them just have the right skills to survive.

i dont go for a butterfly. why? you already have 100% attack speed and evasion duhh! so i always take pure damage items to carry mortred's quote "I'm the iron hand of justice." making your enemy wish mortred was never picked.

Here's a build i've used and works fine for most of the games:1. U can start off with either boots and tangos or 2 slippers and 1 circlet and tangos2. power treads and 2 wraith bands3.Helm of dominator4.Butterfly5.Cranium basher or mkb u choose6. Around now u should sell wraith bands and change them out with Either Yashe & Sange or Buriza 7. To finish it off you should buy Satanic :)

In my opinion, the author greatly defines Mortred's survivability on early rounds by increasing its defensive capabilities. Since Mort is a "Lategame" type of hero, you should be more focused on farming, farming and farming. I also appreciate the line "Don’t waste your time by looking early frag, you will get it in the late game." :) In my case, I am doing also the same - 2 Bracers, Boots, and an early Helm would give me great confidence to dominate upon harassing/ganking. After my Core Items, I am now focusing on my attack. First to which is the Battlefury, then complete threads. Bash also is one of my pick depending on situations. Butterfly and MKB will follow next or you can go back to increase your defense (but its boring) still depends on situation. Whatever your choice is acceptable but the most important thing you must have in mind is your "Situational Awareness." You must know your enemy ! You must know what's going on ! and do not let your emotions tear you down ! Btw, Mortred PA is my overall pick hero. She's unbeatable !!!

Well I tried build from this article. It worked fine for me. I just didnt buy 2 bracers, just one. Then Perserverence, which assures that you can stay in the line all the time. Usually i can get it on 6-7 lvl.

I was just wondering what to buy after you have:

- Bracer- Power treads- Battlefury- Satanic- Monkey King Bar

So late game was my biggest wonder....

I tried more offensive way and bought Desolator, but it didnt really make a big difference. HoT is i think much better. It give you something about 3150 life, witch Satanic.

What do you think about basher or more, abyssal blade ? As long as Mortred is a very easy farmer, its easy to get luxuries and test different items.
